Église Saint-Germain l'Auxerrois
Back when the Louvre was still a royal palace (Palais du Louvre), Église Saint-Germain l'Auxerrois was its church. The impressive and unique bell tower dates from the 12th century and was the only Romanesque survival. It was later transformed to the Gothic style in the 19th century.
It does enjoy a lofty view of the Louvre

There was something about this church when I first walked into it ........ I was too busy photographing the inside to take a shot of the tower outside!.

Lovely shot. I'm so excited about seeing different churches next visit. There's so much wonderment to see.
Une église qui ne peut être que romanesque, puisque c'est la paroisse des artistes.
The tower (and your capture of it) is a delectable confection! Bon dimanche!
I love this church.

Lovely!!!
That's one gorgeous facade.
I think a lot of people miss this place because of its close proximity to le Louvre, but it's worth an effort.
It's enormous. And 12th century. That is a mind bender.. :)
Very imposing!
It is a honey, Genie.
Very nice....
